 After kind invitation of the coordinator of the project Veronika Simons (Projekttraeger Juelich GmbH, Germany), Egils Stalidzans had an opportunity to present Latvian Systems Biology Initiative to the Steering committee of the ERASysBio+ project. General status of systems biology related research in Latvia was explained indicating also the high potential of Latvian pharmacologists.

Future research collaboration was discussed within the coming ERA-net on systems biology where Latvian Academy of Science is invited as a participant. That is important step towards the development of systems biology in Latvia after the end of the Latvian SysBio project.

We are also very thankful to the representative of BBSRC (UK) representative Gabriela Pastori for assistance on our way to European scale collaboration.

The progress in the research about convergence dynamics of biochemical pathway steady state stochastic global optimization was reported in different aspects in two IEEE conferences within one week.

The first event was 12th IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Informatics 21–22 November, 2011 in Budapest, the capital of Hungary presenting the paper with title “Convergence Dynamics of Biochemical Models to the Global Optimum” concentrating on the influence of different number of adjustable parameters on the convergence speed.

Right after that Ivars made a trip to Iasi in Romania to the 3rd International Conference on E-Health and Bioengineering, 24-26 November 2011 to report research with title „Convergence dynamics of biochemical pathway steady state stochastic global optimization” showing that the number of adjustable parameters is not the only criteria which influences the convergence dynamics.
